Research notes

Cleared stolen ServiceNo 80897473PE (belongs to Nkwanyana PN 32296, veld fire 2002-08-13). 1993-01-01 row looks like a placeholder / polluted twin.
FirstName contamination fixed 31 Aug 2026 (systemic full-table scan): FirstName ("Bongani Andries") was copied from the unrelated neighbouring record PersonNumber 32296 ("Nkwanyana, Bongani Andries", initials B A) -- this record's own stored initials (N J) don't match "Bongani Andries" at all. Confirmed by the existing 25 Aug 2026 SN CORRECTION note on this record, which already identified PersonNumber 32296 as the true owner of this record's copied ServiceNo via the same external source. Cleared back to unknown rather than guessed.
4 Sep 2026: Regiment leftover "SA Army" cleared -- that's the service branch (Army, as distinct from Navy/Air Force), not a specific regiment; the actual unit ("7 South African Infantry Battalion") is already captured in Unit. Per John's decision, the 52 records with no better Unit info were left as-is.
25 Sep 2026, Unit2 service-branch sweep: the stored Secondary Unit "Army" was CLEARED as a duplicate. It was not a sub-unit, it was a service-branch word repeating what the Branch column already says. Secondary Unit is for sub-units -- a company, a squadron, a commando -- and this record's branch of service is unchanged at "Army".
